Description

Lean ground sirloin burgers, sauteed onions, and Cheddar cheese come together for a heavenly patty melt experience.

Ingredients

1 pound ground sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
cooking spray
4 slices Cheddar cheese
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 slices rye bread, lightly toasted

Directions

1 Mix sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper together by hand in a medium bowl. Form into 4 hamburger patties and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 4 hours to overnight.
2 Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add onions and saute until they begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes, reducing heat to medium-low if they seem to be sizzling too much.
3 Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Place hamburger patties in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, topping each patty with a slice of Cheddar cheese after flipping.
4 Place patties on toasted rye bread. Top with warm onions, Dijon mustard, and remaining bread.
